The Yamaha NS-1000MM speakers, released in Japan in 1999 during the “Golden Era” of Japanese high-fidelity audio equipment, are simply incredible and under rated. The Yamaha NS-1000mm is a mini version of the famous NS-1000 from the 1970s. The mini version It is a small speaker system developed for theater sound, inheriting design concepts such as NS-1000M and NS-10M. A 12 cm cone type unit is used for the low range, a 2.5 cm dome type unit for the middle range, and a 1.5 cm dome type unit for the high range.
The feature that really put these speakers on the Hi-Fi map is their beryllium drivers, providing unparalleled performance in the time domain. These ultra-thin diaphragms were produced by electron beam evaporation in a highly advanced fabrication process. The surface of the beryllium alloy, prone to corrosion, was sealed by a proprietary 5-micron coating.
The NS-1000Ms have been used in mastering studios around the world, as well as the Swedish and Finnish national broadcasting studios. The sound of these speakers in heavenly pure, to be used as the highest level of reference. Although these speakers in general are not rare, those in excellent condition with original box and papers are very rare. Owing to the space limitation in Hong Kong, I can only look for the mini version.
Each unit is equipped with a metal guard grill. The magnetic circuit employs an A / MAG type anti-magnetic circuit that magnetizes both the main magnet and cancel magnet under the optimum environment and cancels the current distortion that occurs with the conventional cancel magnet system. The enclosure is made with Yamaha's original three-way flow retaining structure, which dramatically improves the durability and accuracy of the joint part of plate materials.
